CATCHY TITLE: Reading The World

SETTING THE CONTEXT (10-15 minutes): This presentation focuses on how literacy is changing as a result of emerging media and technologies. We will look at how we teach our students to read the world of media around them. This is done through engaging in discussion, videos/print/online analysis, written work and vocabularly exercises. We will share how we collaboratively work to teach students to see the world through the lense of advertisers and consumers.
